Technical background
Zircoium hydride is piled ideal solid neutron slowing down material owing to have higher thermostability, higher hydrogen density, low neutron capture cross section and good heat-conducting and become the space.But in the zircoium hydride operating temperature range, hydrogen can constantly be separated out from zircoium hydride and be reduced its neutron moderating efficiency.Therefore, the hydrogen loss of control zircoium hydride under hot conditions is that the zircoium hydride moderator is applied to the major issue that the space heap is badly in need of solution.
Under the prerequisite of the use properties that does not influence body material, prepare the ceramic coating that the skim hydrogen diffusion coefficient is low, the surface recombination constant is low by process for treating surface at zirconium hydride surface, can effectively stop separating out of hydrogen in the matrix zircoium hydride.
At present, the method that adopts in-situ oxidation obtains oxide membranous layer at zirconium hydride surface and stops separating out of hydrogen in the zircoium hydride more.In addition, adopt electric plating method to prepare chromium coating and also can play the effect that suppresses hydrogen evolution in the zircoium hydride at zirconium hydride surface.
The resistance hydrogen rete that prepared in various methods goes out all has certain resistance hydrogen effect, but resistance hydrogen effect is unsatisfactory, mainly is that rete ftractures easily and peels off, thereby loses the provide protection to matrix because the thermal circulation performance of rete is low.In addition, because zircoium hydride fragility is very big, there are defectives such as a lot of tiny cracks matrix in itself, and this brings very big difficulty to preparing even, fine and close resistance hydrogen rete at zirconium hydride surface.So, only rely on the method that zirconium hydride surface prepares resistance hydrogen rete and also be difficult to solve the mistake hydrogen problem of zircoium hydride under hot conditions, also just be difficult to reach the service requirements of zircoium hydride slowing material.
